Setting the Commercial Message in the Footer

You can also program a message that automatically prints at the bottom of the receipt. For example, you can list your hours of operation or a special promotion at the bottom of every receipt.

The Commercial message can have up to 5 lines. Each line can have 24 characters in single width or 12 characters in double width. For more information about double-width messages, see Using Double Wide Characters on page 20.

For example, the message at the bottom of the receipt can say:

TUESDAY IS 10% OFF DAY!

Use the worksheet on page 21 to plan your message before you start.
